The Afghan squad, on the other hand, descended on the Indian team, who had escalated the conflict. In the footage, Gurpreet Singh Sandhu is also seen getting slapped. Soon after, the Indian contingent joined in, resulting in a major brawl. Players were spotted yelling, pushing, and shoving one another. It was time for AFC officials, who arrived late, to intervene, and the brawl came to a stop after much deliberation.
If we talk about the incident, It’s truly unfortunate. However, Football is a fairly rough sport, and incidents like this are common, so should take it too seriously.
Earlier in the game, India won following a dramatic finish in which three goals were scored in the final five minutes.

With a magnificent free-kick in the 86th minute, Sunil Chhetri handed India the lead, only for Afghanistan to equalise only two minutes later. However, India’s Sahal Abdul Samad scored the game-winning goal in injury time to keep the Blue Tigers on pace to qualify for the Asian Cup.
With yesterday’s win, India has moved into second place in Group D and will face Hong Kong in a bid to qualify for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, while Afghanistan has been eliminated due to yesterday’s loss.
